SAINT JOHN – For the fifth time in
franchise history, the Saint John Sea Dogs are off to the QMJHL semifinals.
The Sea Dogs advanced to the QMJHL’s
final four with a 6-2 game seven victory over the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles
tonight at Harbour Station. It was the first game seven in Sea Dogs history.
This is the first time since 2012 – when
the team went on to win the President Cup – the Sea Dogs have appeared in the
semifinals.
As if the playoffs haven’t had enough
drama already, Saint John will play their old rival, the Shawinigan Cataractes,
in the semis. It’ll be the first playoff meeting between the two, although they
did face each other twice at the 2012 Memorial Cup.
Shawinigan, who finished second in the
overall standings, will have home ice advantage for the series. Game one will
likely be Friday in #TheShawi.
The other semifinal will feature the
Moncton Wildcats taking on the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.
